Novato - A Community of Many Neighborhoods

When looking for a new home,
do not overlook Novato. So many buyers have a pre-conceived notion of the town
from observing retail such as Target and Costco while driving north on Hwy 101.
Novato is so much more. At about 30 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge,
Novato is a community where residents love to live and traditionally - buyers
can get so much more for their money.

Novato covers over 28 square
miles with more than 56,000 residents, yet maintains a small-town charm. With a
wide variety of neighborhoods from which to select, buyers should not overlook
the many neighborhoods.

Hamilton is the site of the
former air base that now boasts several newer developments and many amenities.
Southgate, Bayside, Sunny Cove, Newport and Inspirations are a few of the
unique neighborhoods, all somewhat newer as construction was started in the
90s.

Hamilton has acres of open
space, parks and community amenities such as the South Novato Library, Dunphy
Baseball Field, an amphitheater, YMCA facility, Skate Park and great trails.

Looking for a more rural
area, perhaps a farm or ranch for your horse. Indian Valley is a lovely region
nestled to the west of Indian Valley College. Older-style ranches mix with more
elaborate houses situated on large parcels - many not visible from the road. Meandering along Indian Valley Road is a country delight; it is hard to imagine an area so peaceful yet close to town.

There are eight elementary,
two middle and two high schools in the Novato Unified School District plus a
Charter School and independent and individualized programs.

Novato
is centrally located and the northern gateway to Napa and Sonoma Valley
wineries, Point Reyes National Seashore, as well as some of California's finest
state parks. Olompali State Historical Park is just north of Novato. It is
named for a Miwok Indian settlement and was a hippie commune in the 1960s - a
great mix of history.
